Li Yan seemed to have inquired about the location of Yan Xuefeng and the Empress Dowager early in the morning. Without Yan Xuefeng's greeting, he turned a corner and walked straight towards their sitting place, bowing his head and saying, "The Empress Dowager."

As he spoke, he sat down in another seat under the eunuch's service, and when Ban Qing saw her, she hurriedly stood up and stood behind the queen mother.

The queen mother didn't seem too happy to see Li Yan. The woman frowned and said in an unclear tone: "Why is the emperor in such a good mood today to visit the imperial garden?"

In the past, Li Yan always went back to the imperial study or the imperial palace as soon as the court was over. Sometimes the empress dowager wanted to take Li Yan to the imperial garden for a walk, but Li Yan always refused with the excuse of "heavy state affairs".

Of course, the Queen Mother knew that Li Yan's reluctance to go to the Imperial Garden with her was because she was worried that she would arrange for a married girl from the minister's family to be with her as before, not because she didn't want to see her as the Queen Mother.

But it also made him even angrier.

Li Yan is 25 this year, his father has changed women several times at his age!Fortunately for Li Yan, he knew that an emperor who should own the Sangong and Liuyuan lived like a monk every day.

Besides, what happened to the girls from the minister's family?They were all carefully selected by her. Not only are they outstanding in appearance, they are also excellent in virtue, talent and learning. She would be moved by seeing them, why is she not good enough for Li Yan? !

Thinking of this, the queen mother felt depressed, and thinking about the fact that the emperor rushed here today because she heard that Yan Xuefeng was here, her mood was even worse, and she drank several cups of herbal tea.

Wan Qing: "..." Wan Qing glanced at the herbal tea in the pot which was drunk by the Queen Mother in an instant, then silently turned around and added another pot.

Li Yan has always been not very talkative. Although he sensed the empress dowager's anger, he didn't understand why the queen mother was angry again. He just bowed his head and said respectfully: "I heard that there are several new flowers blooming in the imperial garden. I want to take a look." .”

Empress Dowager: "..." The Empress Dowager laughed angrily when she heard the words, and poured a cup of herbal tea even more angrily, thinking that you can just talk nonsense, what does the new flower in the Imperial Garden have to do with you?In the past, the Ai family asked you to accompany the Ai family to choose a dress pattern, and you couldn't even tell the plum blossoms from the apricot blossoms.

Seeing the two of them like this, Yan Xuefeng couldn't help laughing, and said: "Brother Huang has been working hard for days, so he should come to the imperial garden more, and the empress is also worried about your health."

Yan Xuefeng wanted to help alleviate the embarrassment, and the queen mother also knew that her son was an emperor after all, so it was really not good to show his face in public, so she hummed twice, and she had the right to turn the page: "It is indeed a good thing for the emperor to be diligent, but we must also pay attention to it." rest."

When it came to the resting queen mother, she realized that it was already noon, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the emperor come to court today? It's already noon?"

Li Yan: "Recently, some small countries in the south have frequently caused disturbances for some reason. I discussed the countermeasures with the families of the ministers, and it ended a bit late."

The queen mother was taken aback when she heard it: "The Ai family has heard about it these days, but it is very difficult?"

Several small countries in the south have always disobeyed Dazhao's leadership, but in the past, because the small countries had few people, and they refused to obey each other, they couldn't be tied together, so they didn't bring any real problems to Dazhao.They were unwilling to surrender, so Li Yan let them go.

In the past year, for some reason, several small countries formed an alliance, frequently came to the border of Dazhao to cause troubles, and they acted quite methodically, which really brought a lot of troubles to Dazhao.

The guard on the southern border is a veteran general. He fought with Li Yan, who was not yet the emperor. He was loyal, and his ability to use troops was fine, but he was too old.The veteran has fought in the north and south for many years, and his health has long been bad. The place in the south has always been humid. The veteran's joints have been getting sick these days. It is said that they are swollen like steamed buns every day. It is red and swollen. I really can't take it soldier.

It is impossible for Li Yan to continue to work for the country for such an old man, so these days he has been discussing who should be sent to replace the veteran.

The south is no better than the north. The terrain is complicated, the language is different, and the climate is not suitable. Most of the generals who are facing the top are born in the north. It is more convenient to let them go to the south to fight water. It's a headache.

But even so, there is a huge difference in strength, and with Dazhao's financial and military strength, it is only a matter of time before they are resolved.

Li Yan: "There are few people in the south, and those countries are not rich, and they are not brave and good at fighting. It's just a delay, so don't worry about it."

The Empress Dowager nodded after hearing this: "Ai's family is a deep-seated woman who doesn't understand government affairs, so it's not easy to meddle in the affairs of the previous court. The emperor can handle it himself."

Li Yan nodded.

Yan Xuefeng obediently drank tea and ate pastries, looking completely uninterested in the conversation between Li Yan and the Queen Mother.

Looking at his innocent and harmless expression, Wang Xiang almost forgot that the "Southern Barbarian Rebellion" that Li Yan was talking about was actually caused by Qing Li.

Wangxiang: "..."

The queen mother also asked Li Yan to take care of her health no matter how busy the state affairs are, so she didn't say any more.

Li Yan glanced at Yan Xuefeng at the side, and then at Wan Qing who was standing behind the queen mother, but suddenly said, "I just listened to the queen mother and Xuefeng chatting happily? What are you talking about?"

The Empress Dowager paused for a moment when she heard the action of drinking tea with a teacup in her hands, but then she replied with a normal expression: "I didn't talk about anything special. It's just that Aijia sees that Xuefeng is getting older now, and it's time to marry a wife." He is old enough to have a son, and he was just asking if he has a girl he likes. Just as he was talking, the emperor came."

The Queen Mother spoke in a casual tone, while staring at Li Yan's reaction from the corner of her eye.

Li Yan could hear the probing meaning in the Empress Dowager's words. Hearing the words, his face remained unchanged, and he even followed the Empress Dowager's words and asked, "Oh? So Xuefeng is interested?"

He said this lightly, but the eyes he looked at were dark and dark, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Yan Xuefeng's hand holding the cup paused, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw it.

Wangxiang is now in Qingli's spiritual consciousness, "communicated" with him, and almost immediately noticed that his mood is different at the moment, feeling uneasy, but for a while he couldn't figure out why Qingli suddenly I was in a bad mood.

Yan Xuefeng: "Brother Xuefeng is not ignorant of his temperament. Brother Huang shouldn't have asked me 'Is there anyone I like', but should have asked me 'Is there anyone I don't like'. I'm still young this year, so I don't want to ask me so early. Marrying a wife is under control all day long. Brother Huang, why don’t you find a wife for your younger brother?”

Li Yan glanced at him upon hearing the words: "I can't find a suitable and satisfactory one yet."

The word Li Yan used was "I can't find it", not "I can't meet it".This actually speaks for itself.

But Yan Xuefeng didn't think too much about it, he just thought that Li Yan was just saying it casually, so he also smiled and asked: "That's because the emperor is demanding. There are so many beauties in Beijing, how can there be no suitable ones. The younger brother knows each other." There are quite a few of them, all of them are well-behaved and sensible, and I really like them. They have everything you need, such as fat, swallows, and thin. Why don't the emperor tell the younger brother what the emperor likes, so the younger brother can help introduce it."

Li Yan: "..."

After hearing this, Wan Qing couldn't help raising her head and looked at Yan Xuefeng with admiration, thinking that this King Luo is really brave.

As the king of a country, Li Yan didn't even dare to urge him to get married so blatantly, but King Luo dared; King Luo even wanted to "introduce" Li Yan himself.

Li Yan, an emperor, are there any beauties in Beijing that he can't find out by himself?Need an introduction from you, King Luo?And listen to what he said, what is he trying to introduce?Clearly, he wanted to introduce his confidante all over the capital!

Isn't it obvious that you want to cuckold the emperor, and even want the emperor to help you "reign"? !

It's no wonder the emperor wasn't angry after hearing this!

Sure enough, Li Yan's face turned dark when he heard it, and he spoke after a long time, his voice was gritted, as if forced out from between his teeth: "Xuefeng has many confidante in this capital?"

Look, she was really angry, so she just said it.Wan Qing stuffed a piece of fruit into her mouth, but this angry point seemed a bit strange...

Yan Xuefeng seemed taken aback by Li Yan's sudden change of expression: "That's right... Didn't the emperor already know about it? He has given many beauties to his ministers in the past."

Li Yan: "..."

The man took a few more breaths.Of course he knew that Yan Xuefeng was romantic by nature, and everyone in Beijing knew that King Luo loved beauty.

People often make jokes to make fun of King Luo, saying that seven out of ten beauties in Beijing are confidante of King Luo, of the remaining two, one is male, one is relative of King Luo, and the remaining one is King Luo himself.

Li Yan had been guarding against Yan Xuefeng in every possible way before, so he naturally knew all about his gossip, and even his subordinates gave him a directory with all their heart and responsibilities, which consisted of several pages of rice paper, densely packed with It was filled with the names of Yan Xuefeng's beauties.

Many of them were given to him by himself.

At that time, Li Yan didn't have any strange feelings in his heart whether he was giving Yan Xuefeng a beauty or seeing the list.But looking back now, it's...

Li Yan lowered his eyes, and at that moment, he actually felt that besides anger, there was more grievance in his heart.

It's like, it's like the person who once said that he knows how to drink three thousand weak waters, but in the end he finds that the person's spoon is as big as several other people's water tanks.

Li Yan endured it, but in the end he couldn't hold back, but he also knew that he couldn't be angry and questioned in this place, so he stood up directly and said: "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to deal with, so I will go back to the imperial study first. Xuefeng and I Let's go together, I have something to tell you."

As he spoke, he turned and left without looking back.

Yan Xuefeng was at a loss, and for a moment couldn't figure out what Li Yan was doing, but the emperor had given such orders, and he didn't take it seriously, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the queen mother, and hurriedly followed.

Empress Dowager: "..."

The queen mother was so angry that she poured another glass of water, and even poured a glass for Wan Qing herself, and put the glass heavily in front of Wan Qing: "Drink!"

Wan Qing: "..."

Ban Qing twitched her forehead, and finally followed the queen mother helplessly and poured down a whole pot of tea in the posture of drinking wine.

*****

Li Yan brought Yan Xuefeng back to the imperial study room, and as soon as he entered the hall, he went straight to the book case without saying a word.

Li Yan rummaged through the desk for a while, and found a memorial under a pile of important military affairs.The memorial is sealed with a black background, Yan Xuefeng is familiar with the memorial system of the Dazhao Dynasty, and the memorials with this color cover are usually the investigation results submitted by the dark guards.

Li Yan glanced at Yan Xuefeng, and handed the memorial in his hand to Yan Xuefeng.

Yan Xuefeng didn't know what Li Yan was trying to do, so he took a look at it in bewilderment, but was stunned.

What was written in this secret memorial was actually the matter between the Yan family's grandfather and father.

Seeing Yan Xuefeng's silent face, Li Yan said, "I know you have always suspected that your grandfather and father were killed by your ancestors and emperors, but in fact it was not. Your father and grandfather were indeed killed by accident. On the battlefield, as for the same cause of death, it is indeed just a coincidence. When your father died, our Dazhao border was not stable, if it was really done by the late emperor, he would not have chosen that time."

"There is no other meaning in showing you this. I just want to tell you that your grandfather and father did die loyally for the country. They were good generals and sons of my Dazhao. The ancestors made you the King of Luo back then, and issued an order to take over the country. You really just want to repay the kindness of your grandfather and father by entering the palace to be raised."

As for the later, it is a later matter, and there is no need to bring it up now.

"You and my father have been friends for generations. In our generation, there is really no need to fight to the death. Your father and grandfather really died for the country. I don't think they want you to..."

Li Yan didn't finish his sentence, but Yan Xuefeng understood what he meant.

The grandfather and father of the Yan family devoted themselves to their duties and sacrificed for the country. Thinking about it...they absolutely don't want to see their children and grandchildren embark on the road of conspiracy|rebellion|rebellion.

If Yan Xuefeng did that, he was not actually avenging his father and grandfather, but discrediting their loyalty.

Seeing that Yan Xuefeng didn't speak, Li Yan continued: "I can write off everything before. In fact, Xuefeng, you yourself understand how difficult what you have to do, right? There's no need to gamble with everything you have on such a success." The rate is extremely low. From now on, I will never send anyone to the Luo Palace. If you want power, I can give it to you."

"I can give you everything you want, but the premise is—Xuefeng, you also have to trust me."

Yan Xuefeng: "Even if I want to go to the battlefield?"

Li Yan smiled: "Even if you want to go to the battlefield."

Yan Xuefeng: "..."

Li Yan's words were undoubtedly asking for peace.This is a rather strange thing at this time.

Because Qingli knew very well that the ability of this "Li Yan" was much stronger than that of the emperor in the original world. Although the situation at this time looked calm, if you were to compare it, Yan Xuefeng was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

This is also the reason why Qingli has been so painstakingly planning for so many years, but has been hesitant to do it - he knows that if he does it now, he can't win Li Yan at all.

There was no need for Li Yan to ask him for peace.And Li Yan, an emperor, why did he put Yan Xuefeng, a person who had the idea and ability to conspire?Shouldn't it be dealt with quickly?

Or was this another new way to make him let his guard down?

Yan Xuefeng was silent for a few seconds, and finally said: "...why?"

Li Yan looked at him for a long time, and finally smiled.

For the first time, the man's voice was full of tenderness.

He said: "Because Xuefeng is well-behaved and sensible, I really love her.
